Teman teman yang baik

 

I am a first year Grad Dip Ed student at University of New England
hoping to become an English and Indonesian high school teacher.  I am
not doing my Indonesian method and prac placement until 2006 but was
hoping to do my English placement this year at a school that teaches
both English and Indonesian (as I believe will help my employment
prospects after I have finished the course) but have been having
difficulty in locating these schools.  Leonie kindly sent me a list of
all NSW state schools offering Indonesian but the list doesn't include
many schools in my area.  I have phoned or done a web search on a number
of those that are on the list but these are no longer offering
Indonesian (eg, Blakehurst and Kingsgrove high).  I managed to contact
two schools that do still offer Indonesian (St George Girls and
Woolooware High School) but neither could offer me much hope of a prac
placement at their schools this year.  I have also contacted MLC in
Burwood as I know that they offer Indonesian as well and am still
waiting to hear back from them.  I imagine that there are probably other
private (or even public) secondary schools offering Indonesian in Sydney
but I am not sure how to locate them.  I would appreciate any advice
from anyone on this list who might know.  I live in the St George area
of Sydney but would be prepared to travel to certain parts of the
Eastern suburbs, the inner West, as far south as Sutherland (note there
are still a couple of Sutherland schools I have not yet tried) and
possibly out south west as far as Campbelltown or Liverpool (provided it
was somewhere handy to the M5).

 

I am also curious as to whether there is some reason why Indonesian
seems so kurang populer in NSW schools?  I did my own schooling in
Victoria and lots of schools seemed to offer it there.  Is this because
it is a 'priority language' in Vic but not in NSW?  How do other states
compare to NSW?

 

Terima kasih banyak
